How is Battled Hardened?

What are the other funny stories around exchange of fierce, hand-cuffed words between gorillas and waitresses? Published in the New Yorker on July 14th, 1992. When I walked into the restaurant, we immediately saw her – my father’s

battled-hardened nemesis – a waitress named Irene.” I understand the word was in my father’s reply. She was standing in back near the kitchen, with cigarette dangling from her mouth, one hand on her hip.. She and my father locked eyes like two gunlingers stepping on to a dusty street. “She blows” my father muttered. My mother said to me: “Try not to excite yourself.” Somewhat awkward to me. I

find “battle-hardened” in the dictionaries cited, but not “battled-hardened.” When quoting first line of New Yorker website, this word is repeated above.

What can you say about a big battle scene being pulled off at Camp Hope? Is “battled-hardened” one of New Yorker’s renowned idiosyncrasies, or just a typo?

What does that mean for your business?

Are there lots of examples of where the first piece is a adjective (even a participle) or adverbs instead of a noun? It’s totally a typo, in effect, because it means hardened by battle (no doubt).

What do I do if the second part of a verb is a past participle and the first participle a noun? Air-cooled, belt-driven,

carbon-dated, feather-topped, hand-sewn, gas-powered, iron-plated, jet-propelled, knife-edged, love-begotten, market-tested, need-rooted, oil-tempered, punch-drunk, quarter-sawd, rain-proofed, store-boughten, tailor-made, vacuum-packed, wind-swept, yeast-bitten, and zero-padded. Similar products for example: air cooled, belt

Where are the verbs where they meant “verbed by/with/for (the/a) noun”.

There are many versions where the first part is a noun but the second part is a present participle in the words. These mean “verbing (the/a) noun”. Air-breathing, body-snatching,

class-leading, death-defying, deep-searching, earth-moving, fact-finding, gas-guzzling, hair-splitting, iron-binding, jaw-breaking, key-winding, king-killing, labour-saving, market-leading, night-flowering, orange-fuming, penny-pinching, rabble-rousing, sabre-rattling, thought-provoking

Is it just a different word for the same question?

If second halves are participle, are there any forked-tailed examples, but not here, and why? Words of similar meaning in other languages such as brokenhearted and cloven-hoofed?

Many examples work like big-hearted, deep-based, half-baked, etc. Because of the first word, the verb is no longer a noun. The verb is a modifier, either an adjective or an adverb.

Words such as broken-hearted also have in common that the second member of the compound is a noun, rather than a verb, to which has simply been added an adjectival suffix -ed. Are past participles? You have (just about) consider to battle-harden or to wind-sweep a verb, but there is no such verb as to forked-tail or to broken-heart.

“Battled Hardened Sophomores” is not correct, as others have pointed out.

Why do people make spelling mistakes? Maybe the author of this piece was confused because she or he was thinking of the word embattled, whose meanings include Subject
